“Not So Juvenile” Juvenile Prints

It's quite hard to use juvenile/novelty prints for adult clothing. A print that is really cute in a fat quarter often times looking ridiculous in a full-size dress or shirt. For this week's theme of children's literature, I searched for the best (subtle) literature-inspired fabrics that could actually work for a dress or skirt. Quilting and craft cotton may not drape marvelously, but for some types of garments it will work.

About the Sew Weekly

The Sew Weekly began as Mena Trott's attempt to document the process of sewing all of her own clothes in 2010. In 2011, four other contributors (Debi Fry, Adey Lim, Veronica Darling & Sarah Gabbart) joined her and for 52 weeks, they sewed based on a particular weekly theme. In 2012, The Sew Weekly became a much larger group blog with over 130 contributors sewing along each week.
